Winter and early
spring cross-isobath transport of
|
|
|
|
copepods is
largely caused by locally and event-forced
|
|
|
|
surface Ekman
fluxes.
|
|
|
| • |
Transport paths
differ between species and vary
|
|
|
|
seasonally.
|
|
|
| • |
Interannual
variability in the source and number of
|
|
|
|
copepods
delivered to GB in January and February will be
|
|
|
|
directly related
to the interannual variability in the winds
|
|
|
|
over those two
months.
|
|
|
| • |
Near-surface
copepods will be deposited on GB because of
|
|
|
the reduction in
the Ekman velocity caused by the sudden
|
|
|
deepening of the
mixed layer there through tidal mixing.
